Ugh, hairy armpits! :-p

I went to sow mine and found that I don't have any seed compost. Tomorrow's job now?

Use any old compost, or soil, they’ll be fine.

If I get any to flowering stage it will be a bloody miracle.

I’m embarrassed to report I took my eye off the ball the last couple of days and my sunflower seedlings all expired in the heat. I’m unreasonably cross with myself. New lot sowed this evening.

That’s easily done in this sudden heatwave Frag.
Planted my seeds at the allotment in the dark. God knows how close together or in how crooked a line :) Lovely sunset though. I meant to enrich the soil a bit but didn’t have time.
